Song information
I don’t owe anyone an explanation for this song. It’s political, and it’s bound to ruffle a few feathers. That’s just how it is :)

This will be my very last protest song! :)

Lyrics
Title: Smoke and Mirrors

by Gerald G

Verse 1

Golden halls hide the rust and decay,

Truth is the price they’re willing to pay.

Every scandal buried under a grin,

While the world outside keeps caving in.


Chorus

Smoke and mirrors fill the night,

Every lie dressed up in light.

Hungry mouths and empty shelves,

While they guard their power for themselves.


Verse 2

Whispers lost in sealed-up files,

The guilty smirk, the crowd beguiled.

War drums beat to drown the cries,

Bombs in the sky to mask their lies.


Chorus

Smoke and mirrors fill the night,

Every lie dressed up in light.

Hungry mouths and empty shelves,

While they guard their power for themselves.


Bridge

Distraction reigns, the truth concealed,

The cost of greed can’t be repealed.

Children starve while they pretend,

That justice waits around the bend.


Final Chorus
Smoke and mirrors that wall of shame,

History will recall the name.

But in the dark, the people see,

The price of power’s tyranny.

Fantastic!
No explanation needed. The music is great. The sentiment is spot on. Great tune, top to bottom. 
Let the feathers be ruffled!
Thanks for sharing!

Politics aside, the work on the percussion and beats is impressive. I also really love your voice (verses/choruses contrasts especially) in this. Great !! (but then again : is there anything you can do wrong ??)
